Somewhere in Oklahoma on I-40

Lots of folks, including some of that area's natives, say it was an Indian name from pre-white man days.
Not so, says Kitty Garrett, who reports her late husband, Don, thought up the name while working on a highway drafting squad that was planning signs to go along the then-new I-40.
When Don's crew got to that road, he could see that it "didn't go much of anywhere except down to the water," Kitty says. "Don just thought up that name and wrote it on the map, thinking someone would find a more-proper name before signs were made and installed."
But no one made any change, so the signs were made and installed. It wasn't a bit of Indian folklore but rather an Oklahoma Highway Department official who named Lotawatah Road.

Lac du Bonnet is a town in Manitoba, Canada located 115 kilometres (71 mi) northeast of Winnipeg on the west shore of the Winnipeg River. The word "Bonnet" is pronounced by locals as "bonny."

The lake after which Lac du Bonnet takes its name was so called by the French explorer and fur trader Pierre Gaultier La Verendrye, circa 1732. The shape of the lake, itself part of the Winnipeg River, is said to have reminded him of a bonnet. The name "Lac du Bonnet" appears on a map of the explorer Joseph Derouen as early as 1760.

Beginning in 1926, Lac du Bonnet was home to the #1 Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force. As a backup communication system to wireless telephone transmitters, aircraft carried pigeons aboard, and as such a pigeon rookery was established on the air force base. RCAF operations in Lac du Bonnet continued until 1937.

Toronto ON Dundas and McCaul, by the AGO



Based on Tom's question, I had to see if it had any relation to a library.

Jeffrey Ji’s DIY design mimics an Australian cafe to the letter, down to the tiling outside the door that’s a near exact replica of tiling that reads “Standing Room Only” at Melbourne’s famous cafe Patricia. He would know, seeing as he used to be a Melbourne resident himself.

However, one of the oldest Starbucks in Toronto was home to an important landmark, the Britnell Bookstore and the building remains in the family. 
Britnell closed in 1999 after serving the city for 106 years.
Alas, it closed up earlier this month and will no doubt become a condo.

Notable Store Elements
Floor is made from 200 year old wharf planking that was unearthed, and re-engineered in Toronto (found during the excavation when the Air Canada Center was being built).
Books lining the walls were donated from local organizations in exchange for some of the older furniture previously used for this store.
Community table is actually a salvaged piece of cabinetry and marble that was the original cash-wrap for the bookstore.
